December Dilemmas

It's December again... my favorite month of the year. I have processed my grades in the records section finally. The only thing I have to ask for is the DLcert... and I'll have to wait till January! Arrghh! Slow systems! Meanwhile, AuntB left for VA, professors were piling up tasks for us and boom... Christmas vacation turns like no vacation at all. All of our professors kept on giving us tasks to be submitted on January. What a way to express Christmas greetings! Grr... We watched a play and voila, we have a prelim paper to pass! We watched a film or episode of a series, then we were asked to submit a paper. We were given the task to read a novel, to find a short story, to film a critique documentary and to prepare for reports (2 different subjects)! Huh! What are we, Muslims, Atheists or Buddhists who don't have to celebrate and spend Christmas? Isn't Christmas supposed to be fun and spent with the family and not with the gazillion school works? Arghh! I'm really stressed!

The Christmas Cantata for this year in our church happened yesterday, and this time with me on it, as a solo vxst. Too bad my mistakes were obvious. This event was memorable but not very spectacular as my last year's recital wherein I really did well. I guess some failures are really bound to happen in order to make me stronger and better. Anyway, I really felt good that I finally got to show my talent in church so that I could serve God through my talent again in the future. This is just the beginning... Also yesterday, Papa bought me my 18th birthday present... something I have expected and dreamed of months ago... EQVx and now it's finally in my hands. I am very very very very happy. I almost can't ask for more. I really love my family for giving me everything.

I'm turning 18 tomorrow! Am I nervous? Yes, I think so, because it means I'm getting really older, and this time, officially olderly adult. Tomorrow, I'll also determine who my true friends really are...

I'm very nervous, excited, but also worried for our documentary, homeworks, projects, reports, etc. I must make it to the top again. I have a goal, yet I'm feeling so down because I really feel I'm not really performing that well anymore. I really have to make it up next year... God please help me! Anyway, I'm excited for Christmas Day... because of N70... but I'm quite dreading that day because it means shorter time to do my projects... God please help me!
